The season is still fairly new and the Pfl table has to be read with caution. So far Orenburg II find themselves in 14th position and Zenit Izhevsk are placed 13th.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Zenit Izhevsk have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Orenburg II form and stats
Orenburg II have played three Pfl home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With Orenburg having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager M. Groshev.
Orenburg II travelled for their previous game, a trip to Ural 2 that ended 1-1. Preceding that match was a defeat to Chelyabinsk (1-3).
Orenburg has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Orenburg II have allowed the opposition to score 8 goals here at Stadion Gazovik.
Zenit Izhevsk form and stats
It's not happening yet for Zenit Izhevsk on their Pfl travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Zenit Izhevsk has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Zenit Izhevsk are travelling after their nice 4-1 home win in the Pfl against Lada Tolyatti (placed 15th). Prior to that match, the Zenit Izhevsk manager S. Emeljanov faced defeat when travelling to Lada SOK and losing 0-2.
Zenit Izhevsk have the goal stats of 0-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
